Tamarind Syrup (if making at home)
- 1
Make tamarind syrup
Combine tamarind paste and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the paste. Add the granulated sugar and stir until fully dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer for 2–3 minutes to meld flavors. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove fibers. Stir in optional 1/2 tsp fresh lime juice. Cool to room temperature before using. Yields roughly 5–6 oz syrup.
